3 teams ABC scored total of 150 pionts. If A scored 4%of this total and b scored 4xas many points C, what were the number scored by B?

Answer 1

Team A scored 6 points

Team B scored 115.2 points

Team C scored 28.8 points

Team A scored 4% of the total of 150 points. Multiply 0.04 times 150 to get a 6 points.

Let Team C = x

Let Team B = 4x

Team A = 6

Solve the equation:

x + 4x + 6 = 150 Combine like terms

5x + 6 = 150 Now subtract 6 from both sides

5x = 144 Now divide each side by 5

x = 28.8 x = the total points for Team C

Multiply 28.8 x 4 to get 4x which is Team B

To prove it add up all the points 115.2 + 28.8 + 6 = 150 total points
